Warning - MP3PRO plugin for Winamp screws AAC feeds

I was using an MP3PRO stream on Streamer (P2P stream client) and I was
told I would improve the sound quality by setting up Streamer to use
Winamp for output and installing Thomson's MP3PRO plugin in Winamp.

The trouble is that MP3PRO takes over from the in_mp3 plugin included
with Winamp and it doesn't know how to do AAC streams.

So, if you try to do an AAC stream on a Winamp that has had MP3PRO
installed everything works up to buffering and then it just sticks.

(You can get a free plugin that does AAC on Windows Media player but
it requires that you change the http:// to icyx://. in the stream
URL.)

Finally, i googled a suggestion on a web board that I just uninstall
MP3PRO. I didn't have to go that far - I just configured MP3PRO and
unchecked the first enable box.
